Samantha Ramsey, 19, was shot to death on April 26 by Brockman as she was leaving a field party in the 6600 block of River Road in Hebron, Kentucky.

Brockman's attorney released a statement about the decision not to indict his client.

Attorney Wes Williams said Brockman had cooperated fully with the investigation over the past six months.

Williams said Brockman was vilified for not discussing the case during the investigation.

"While Tyler and his family remain extremely thankful he is alive, his survival came with the heavy burden of doing what he had to do to protect himself and others. He sincerely regrets the loss the Ramsey family has suffered," Williams said in the release.

Williams said a civil case was still pending against Brockman and that he was not ready to speak publicly about the shooting.

Ramsey's family has retained Gary Franke, an attorney who argues federal civil cases in Ohio and Kentucky.

Ramsey's mother, Brandi Stewart, said she was upset about the grand jury's decision. She said he family was rallying around her in support and she expected to speak to WLWT News 5 on Friday.

Brockman maintained that he tried to stop Ramsey to determine if she was impaired, authorities said.

Brockman was on the hood of Ramsey's car when he shot her four times. How Brockman ended up on Ramsey's car was disputed.

Several other officer-involved shootings across the country have unfolded since April and have had some level of resolution in a shorter time. Some are high profile cases, like the one in Ferguson, Missouri, or one in South Carolina, where a trooper was charged after shooting a man who reached for his wallet.

Ramsey supporters have reached out on the WLWT Facebook page, some page posting polarizing images.

Meanwhile, at the memorial for Ramsey decorations reflect the impact her loss has had on her family and friends.

Special prosecutor Jim Crawford presented the case to the grand jury for seven hours on Monday.

Crawford tries cases in Carroll, Grant and Owen counties and was called in due to the special circumstances in the case.
